About the Author :
Robert S. Behnke, HSD, is retired after 39 years of teaching anatomy, kinesiology, physical education, and athletic training courses at the high school and university levels. Behnke has been honored on several occasions for excellence in teaching-including receiving the Caleb Mills Outstanding Teaching Award at Indiana State University and the Educator of the Year Award from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA). He served 11 years as chair of the NATA Professional Education Committee. In 1990, Behnke was inducted into the NATA Hall of Fame. He is also in the Indiana State University Athletic Hall of Fame, the Illinois Athletic Trainer Hall of Fame, and the Indiana Athletic Trainer Hall of Fame. Behnke spent most of his career at Indiana State University (1975-1998), where he was a full professor of physical education and athletic training and director of undergraduate and graduate athletic training programs; in retirement, he holds the rank of professor emeritus. He served as head athletic trainer and an instructor at Illinois State University from 1966 to 1969. He was head athletic trainer and an assistant professor at the University of Illinois from 1969 to 1975. He was an athletic trainer for boxing, men's field hockey, team handball, ice skating, roller hockey, gymnastics, judo, and cycling at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs in 1984 and 1991. This broad range of experiences enabled Behnke to understand the needs of undergraduate students-and to develop an unparalleled grasp of which pedagogical approaches work and which do not.
